Simba ran out of the cave in hopes of hanging out with Nala when his mother stopped him in his tracks.

"Aren't you forgetting someone?" Sarabi said.

"Um, no?" Simba said about to run off again when Sarabi gently stepped on his tail in order to keep him from doing so.

"Your sister" Sarabi said motioning to the two year old.

"Awe, mom don't make me bring her. She's just going to get in the way and besides she can barely walk" Simba groaned.

"Now Simba, what did your father and talk to you about when she first joined the family?" Sarabi asked.

Sighing the cub sat down, "That just because she's different than us doesn't mean that she's not part of the family and that we have to treat her just like we do others"

"And?" Sarabi inquired.

"I should be open to playing with her as well because she's also my sister" Simba said grinning up at his mother.

Sarabi satisfied with his answer removed her paw from his tail, "Now you can go see if Nala wants to play but you'll have to play near Pride Rock as Moana is still too young to be wondering off"

Stifling another groan, "Alright mom"

Sarabi smiled as she watched her son run off to where Nala lived, before turning her attention back to the young girl, "Alright Missy lets get you down from here so you can play"

Moana giggled as she was picked up and carried down to where she could safely play with the other cubs.

"Good morning Sarabi" Penda said, "How's little Moana doing?"

Unlike some of the other Pride Sisters, Penda was one of the few lionesses who hadn't objected to the hairless cub becoming part of the Pride.

"She's becoming more of a handful each day, just like her brother" Sarabi said as she laid down beside the lioness.

"Speaking of Simba, how's he handling the other cubs' teasing?" Penda asked.

"The other cubs are teasing him?" Sarabi asked shocked.

"Yeah, I had to get onto several of the cubs yesterday for mocking him about having to play with her, even Nala teased him" Penda said.

"I had no idea, he never said anything to me or his father" Sarabi said, "Especially about Nala"

"Cubs learn from their parents or in Koffi's case other cubs" Penda scowled.

"Mufasa and I knew our decision to raise her wouldn't set well with some of the others, but I didn't expect them to tell their cubs to bully Simba over it" Sarabi said.

"You know how cubs are, they'll learn to accept her once their parents do" Penda said.

"I just can't believe that Sarafina would allow Nala to bully Simba" Sarabi said shaking her head.

Simba came into view with his head down a sullen expression on his face as he sat down beside his mother, "Nala doesn't want to play with me"

A pained expression crossed Sarabi's face, "I'm sorry Simba"

"I hate her mama, I really do" Simba cried into his mothers fur.

"Now, Simba. it's not Moana's fault" Sarabi chided.

Angry Simba looked up at his mother, "No it's yours and father's fault! She won't and never replace my real sister!"

Shocked he even knew about the cub that she had lost, "Simba!"

Without another word, Simba wrangled from his mother's embrace and ran off crying since he believed that his mother and father loved Moana more than they loved him.
